Chapter 108 Ye Kuangsheng
As Han Lu finished speaking, everyone's gaze, filled with various emotions, turned towards Ye Ru.
"Brother Ye Ru, taking a step back will open up a whole new world; otherwise, let's not compete."
Meng Qingyang said with a frown.
"Ye Xingjun, the opponent's archery skills are simply divine. He managed to embed half of his arrow into the tree. His arm strength is truly remarkable."
Song Tao took a deep breath and said solemnly.
"Alas, Brother Han, you are a man of great talent, Chief Ye. I wanted you to be the leader of this trip at the foot of Huangshan, but you misunderstood me, which has caused me to lose my appetite these past few days. I can only think of expressing my apologies to you."
"Moreover, you suddenly stopped moving yesterday. Brother Han thought you were seriously ill and wanted to call you. Unexpectedly, you suddenly opened your eyes, almost causing Brother Han to perish on the summit of Huangshan. Today, Brother Han invited you to participate in this willow shooting game. If you do not agree, then you are judging a gentleman with the mind of a petty person."
Su Liu sighed, seemingly speaking to others as well as to herself, which made Kong Hexuan and the others feel nauseous.
"This is utterly a distortion of the truth."
One person said in a low voice.
Ye Ru took two steps forward and said with a smile, "Brother Su Liu, do you dare to swear on the future of your school of strategists? Not a single word you said is false, and every single one of your words is from the bottom of your heart?"
Su Liu's expression changed. All the holy families knew that Ye Ru had entered the Dao at the top of Huangshan Mountain, which would be of great benefit to the Book Palace and the Book Courage.
He had only intended to distract the other party, but he never expected to be outmaneuvered.
"In the past, Lü Bu shot an arrow at the gate of the camp, destroying two armies with a single shot; Li Guang shot an arrow at Shi Bohu. These two men are truly legendary figures throughout the ages. Today, I, Ye Ru, will follow in the footsteps of my ancestors. If anyone tries to frame me, I will use this bow to shoot them dead! To prove my innocence!"
Thinking of how he had been bullied by everyone, a surge of pride welled up in Ye Ru's chest, revealing a formidable side of him. He straightened up and let out a clear laugh:
"Give me a longbow that weighs two hundred pounds!"
"Two hundred catties? Are you dreaming? Even the mighty General Chen Tianjian can only lift five hundred catties, and he is just a Hanlin scholar. You actually want to lift a two hundred catties longbow?"
Kong Hexuan's eyes widened in shock.
"What an arrogant and overconfident person."
Upon hearing this, a look of shock flashed across Han Lu's eyes.
"The poet Li Bai once called himself the Madman of Chu, and today you, Ye Ru, call yourself the Madman Ye."
Meng Qingyang also shook his head, his tone slightly shifting.
"Haha, I'm afraid we can call you Ye Kuangsheng from now on. Come on, let's get Ye Kuangsheng a two-hundred-pound bow and arrow and broaden our horizons."
Han Lu laughed loudly, his smile full of sarcasm.
"This is what is meant by overestimating one's own abilities."
Su Liu smiled slightly, but her smile was full of disdain.
Before long, several people carried over a large bow. Since Ye Ru had become a scholar, his arm strength was much greater than that of an average person.
"call."
Ye Ru exhaled and slowly drew the bowstring, causing everyone's breathing to quicken considerably.
If Ye Ru could truly pull that 200-pound longbow, he would probably be the number one student among all the novices.
"Wen Hou's archery skills are rare in the world; he once single-handedly saved a dangerous situation at the gate of the camp."
"The setting sun indeed outshines Hou Yi, and the howling ape seems to rival You Ji."
"When the tiger-tendon string twangs and the bow is drawn, the eagle-feathered arrow will fly."
"The leopard's tail sways, piercing the painted halberd; a hundred thousand mighty soldiers shed their battle robes."
Ye Ru chanted softly, and then countless orange auras in the sky converged towards the longbow in Ye Ru's hand. In an instant, the arrow was completely enveloped by the orange auras.
"A Summoning Saint? And a military general at that?"
The sudden surge of his talent caused the expressions of all the disciples of the Holy Family to change drastically in an instant.
Kong Hexuan and the others looked at each other in disbelief. They stared at the phantom behind Ye Ru, their throats bobbing slightly, their faces filled with utter horror.
Sun Kong, a military strategist, stared at the phantom of a war god gradually materializing behind Ye Ru, a figure wearing a purple-gold crown, a robe adorned with a hundred flowers, and wielding a halberd. After a long while, a chilling voice finally uttered:
"That's the God of War... Lü Wenhou?"
"A poem that astounds the gods of war? Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian?!"
Han Lu's expression changed drastically. As Ye Ru drew his bow and nocked an arrow, Lu Bu behind him slowly drew his bow as well. The two-hundred-pound bow and arrow were pulled up by Ye Ru with ease, as if they were children's toys.
"call out!"
The bowstring fell, the arrow shot out, and to everyone's astonishment, the arrow whistled as it pierced the willow tree, instantly obliterating it with a deafening bang.
However, after shattering the willow tree, the arrow did not stop. Its powerful force pierced through several large trees before finally reaching its limit and falling limply.
As everyone stared at the five willow trees that had exploded into pieces, their smiles vanished completely, replaced by expressions of solemnity and shock.
"For a poem to be considered sacred, it must at least be a poem that astounds the saints..."
Li Chi's mocking voice gradually faded, and finally he looked at Ye Ru, forcibly concealing the fear in his heart.
"Brother Han, how about we each shoot an arrow at the other and see who has the better archery skills?"
Ye Ru turned around, pointed the arrow tip at Han Lu, who was still in shock not far away, and said sarcastically.
"do not want!"
Before Han Lu could react, he let out a terrified scream and collapsed to the ground with a thud, his face pale.
This scene made many people secretly chuckle.
"All bark and no bite, a good-for-nothing."
Wang Hu wasn't afraid of offending these members of the Holy Families, and laughed heartily.
"Softie."
Wang Yuan also spat and sneered.
"So Brother Han is just a tiger in the sea and a shark on land."
Kong Hexuan was shocked to see Ye Ru reveal his formidable side. When his gaze shifted to Han Lu and he saw him sitting on the ground, he sarcastically remarked.
"Brother Kong, your words, 'Tiger in the Sea, Shark on Land,' are truly gems, haha."
Meng Qingyang couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright, everyone, let's leave him be. Brother Ye Ru, please remove the spirit of Lü Bu. It's too intimidating to leave it here."
Kong Hexuan turned to Ye Ru with a trembling heart and said.
"Alright, since that's the case, I will remove Lu Bu's soul. I apologize for the fright you all caused."
Ye Ru nodded, and with a wave of his sleeve, the talent in the world vanished into thin air.
"Since this is a literary gathering, there must be poetry to liven things up. Without poetry, what kind of literary gathering is it? The rainy weather has added to the atmosphere. Why don't we strike while the iron is hot and see who can write the best poems?"
"it is good!"
"Let's do as Brother Kong says!"
Some people nodded to themselves.
"Alright, but I have a small request. Ye Ru's poetry is simply too extraordinary. Each poem he writes is at least considered a moral improvement. Therefore, let's have Brother Ye Ru as the final piece."
Kong Hexuan pondered for a moment, then smiled wryly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru could only smile helplessly. What he said next almost caused a collective riot among the crowd.
"Since everyone has said so, I will not compose a poem on cultivating virtue this time..."
